hey, I'm just tryna help a bro

And just to explain myself, while the rules for the forum say "at least 24 hours" for sign-ups, I usually request that show hosts allow 48 hours. Especially on weekends, there might be some people who don't check the threads every day and we want to be as inclusive as possible. It's just fair, really.

Don't worry about it. It was a simple copy and paste mistake. He just forgot to change the word.
On the other hand, thats some cheap cookware.

This is my first show. That's why it's a half hour.

Am I allowed to ask for help from the audience?

Cornelius: Yes.

I would say $33K, doctorwho...
-
I would say $33K, doctorwho...
$1!
Seriously, I'm leaning more towards $27,000 or a little higher, but it hinges on the price of the Taurus. I have one of those (hand-me-down from my mother), albeit an older model. I can't see them being more than $22,000, or at least not by much.
Cyclone

I'll go $27,654.

Cornelius: Doctorwho bids $27,654. Now Gameshowboy92, this is your showcase.

I'm sure the difference is 104.
-
The difference is 96 actually.
-
You're right Gameshowboy92. Either way it goes, Doctorwho wins both showcases.
-
The difference is 96 actually.
Oh wow. That 4 in $104 threw me off, didn't think about it.
Still a double showcase win however.
Cyclone
-
8-O 8-O 8-O I'm shocked that I won, honestly. I'm not usually even that good at pricing things.
-
How do you start a HYO? With a DSW and a Caddy. Well done doctorwho.
-
8-O 8-O 8-O I'm shocked that I won, honestly. I'm not usually even that good at pricing things.
But you asked for audience help, and along came someone who has a Taurus and thus knows from past research around where they are priced. That worked in your favour. :)
With that said, the A/C isn't the best on the ones I've had, be warned.
Cyclone
